Gordon Hayward probably won’t take the court for the Boston Celtics again this season, but he’s going to make sure his jump shot remains pure.
The Celtics star forward suffered a gruesome ankle, lower leg injury on opening night against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Hayward, however, already is back in the gym getting shots up less than a month after surgery.
Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge tweeted a photo Sunday of the Butler product shooting from a chair at the teams’ practice facility to show fans the star is working hard during his rehab.

It’s not surprising that the 2017 All-Star already is in the gym, as Hayward asked Celtics coach Brad Stevens for a basketball prior to undergoing successful surgery on his dislocated ankle and fractured tibia.
Hayward signed a four-year, $128 million contract with the Celtics in the offseason.
